    DC PROTEST SEEN FROM THE TOP OF THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT
    As I was heading out into a dark, drippingly wet, appropriately dispiriting New York City day, on my way to the "Fall Out Against the War" march — one of 11 regional antiwar demonstrations held this Saturday — I was thinking: then and now, Vietnam and (…)

  • THE IRON WALL

    by Mohammed Alatar (2007, 57’)
    In 1923 Vladimir Jabotinsky, leading intellectual of the Zionist movement and father of the right wing of that movement, wrote:
    "Zionist colonization must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population - behind an The Iron Wall , which the native population cannot breach." First published in Russian under the (…)

    Iraqi weapons ’expert’ unmasked as a fraud
    By Sadie Gray
    Published: 03 November 2007
    The Iraqi defector whose claims regarding Saddam Hussein’s biological warfare capabilities were central to the US government’s case for the 2003 invasion, despite repeated warnings that they were dubious, has been unmasked by a television documentary.
    The informer, codenamed Curveball was Rafid Ahmed Alwan who, in 1999, turned up at a refugee centre in Germany seeking political asylum. He went on (…)

  • Australian Election: Bush-ite Media IGNORE Iraqi Genocide, Afghan Genocide & Aboriginal Genocide
    3 November 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Australia is in the middle of a Federal Election campaign but to the best of my knowledge the Australia-complicit carnage in Occupied Iraq – the Iraqi Holocaust, the Iraqi Genocide - has not simply NOT been aired by Australian Mainstream media, the ABC or politicians in a process of egregious and remorseless holocaust-ignoring and genocide-ignoring. This holocaust ignoring in Australia (the Land of Lies and Flies) is so sustained and comprehensive that it amounts to utterly repugnant (…)

  • A New Film on US Wars : WAR MADE EASY
    1 November 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death
    Narrated by Sean Penn
    War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media (…)

  • ATTAKING IRAN FOR ISRAEL ? BY RAY MAC GOVERN
    1 November 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is at her mushroom-cloud hyperbolic best, and this time Iran is the target. Her claim last week that "the policies of Iran constitute perhaps the single greatest challenge to American security interests in the Middle East and around the world" is simply too much of a stretch.
    To gauge someone’s reliability, one depends largely on prior experience. Sadly, Rice’s credibility suffers in comparison with Mohammed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic (…)

    As a growing number of Italian soldiers who served in the Balkans meet their death due to serious illness, the specter of ’Balkan Syndrome’ and the effects of depleted uranium are again in the spotlight.
    By Anes Alic in Sarajevo for ISN Security Watch (29/10/07)
    An increase of the number of Italian soldiers who served in the Balkans during the 1990s who are falling seriously ill due to depleted uranium exposure is causing a public outrage in Italy, as the government downplays the extent (…)

    The following video/audio presentation is the most important talk given to date regarding the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the impending attack on Iran by the United States. It is a must see for anyone that wants to know what is happening in the Middle East, what World War III will look like, the complete hell that the 1.5 million American soldiers that have been involved in the Iraq war have had to live through and in what condition they are returning to the United States, how (…)
